If you're looking for one of those famous, big-eyed alien abductors, try looking on the sides of milk cartons. The UFO cultural moment in America is long since over, having gone out with the Clintons and grunge rock in the 90s. Ironically, the force that killed the UFO fad is the same force that catapulted it to super-stardom: the Internet. And therein hangs a tale about how the Internet can conceal and reveal the truth.

Many, many prominent, reliable government, military, and private-sector people have come forward to report that their governments are hiding the true extent of their knowledge of extra terrestrial contact (the recent Russian-UFO episode of the UFO files in which Kapustin Yar was studied has some extraordinary claims by people with very, very impressive credentials).

Phood The cool thing about UFOs and Aliens is that they capture the imagination. The concepts of UFOS and Aliens is intriguing, that there are some creatures that are smarter and more advanced than we could hope to ever be. With that imagination gives us a sense of awe and equal vulnerability. Thats what really fed the UFO craze in the 1950'60'70s. Hey the Considering the Cold War, all we needed was an Alien threat to make matters worse. Of course the government took interest.

lost_shaman No one is denying anything. People see Mother Mary in a Cheese Puff. Or Jesus on a freeway wall. That is their faith. UFO'ism is on the verge of a new religion because of such a lack of physical tangible evidence. It is not about science or facts anymore. It is more about blind faith. lost_shaman, Just have faith, you don't need evidence to believe. UFO's are not my faith or religion. I am a skeptic because the truth is there is zero proof.

lost_shaman I'll drop out of this one. I prefer the objective, science, and analytical approach over faith, obsession, or wanting. Religion and objective rationale aren't a good mix. Just look through history.

The Internet is the best place to root out facts from fantasy. If it's real it will make the through to the mainstream as such.

Every story and tale about UFOs/Aliens is conveniently clouded in cover up and intrigue. ...
The bedrock that the whole UFO phenomenon lies on has been seriously shaken and fractured.
As for me I love UFO's and Aliens.

First, you claims to "love" ufo's and aliens. Why would one who is objectively studying a subject gain an emotional attachment to it?
